The quest of the lost 90's RPG game (help?)

ok so sometime you sit and think through old games you once played there were in reality really funny and charming due to lousy graphic and funny solutons (for that i can recommend angry video game nerd on youtube makes me giggle like a twat eachtime). I miss my childhood :P

So i came to think of this game i used to play but cant recall the name and therefor cant find it and with the possibilities on the interweb im kinda lost :P

So if any of you remember it know it or where i can find it, i would be thrilled in joy and excitement and gratitude ofcourse.

I used to have it on a free shareware/freeware. I could choose race by having a trivia in the beginning and the graphic was really crappy and it even suprised me that i could play it on my oh so lovely XP :P  The combat system were made so that as soon as i run into something the fight were on!  The choices were pretty limited but in old RPG tradition i could choose between Mage (yay), Wizard, rogue and warrior. As the headline says its from the 90's. The happy days were the special effects and graphics were endlessly bad and charming based on the creators fantasy. The time were the limitations were endless and you could time travel in phonebooths (which explains why it were stupid removing them and replace them with cellphones) I'd pick time travel before brain tumor anytime! The name the closest i get to a description is; it was in reality a really cliche. I know the descriptions are pretty vague, but it would make a tiny girl happy to see that lousy graphic again :D

So if anyone could help me bring my childhood back or replace it with something similar, please give me your suggestions, it would be highly appreciated.

The other games I remember from that time include Bard's Tale, Keef the Thief, and the Adventure Construction Set, where you made your own game.
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

Not sure about Keef, but the other two were mid-80s games.

Omega

Not the Phantasie series right? In that you could play races like a Pixie. Pretty basic graphics.

Wizards Crown comes to mind too. That had even more basic graphics. But a interesting class system. So probably not that either.

Doom

I'm leaning towards something Wizardry, pretty sure those games had an "answer questions to determine your class" part to them.

But Wizard's Crown sure did rock, though...

Apropos of nothing but that someone mentioned it, there's a remake of Adventure construction Set that runs on PCs and shit.
